As a young adult all I knew was my grandmother.
She taught me everything I knew until she got sick.
Her body started to break down and I had to take care of her.
I prepared her meals, breakfast and dinner and gave her showers also dressed her.
She got really bad and she was forced into a nursing home because nobody was able to give her the proper care she needed.
She passed away in the nursing home.
I felt nothing but guilt that I didn't have the skills to take care of her so she could be comfortable at her own home.
So I made an effort to be the best CNA for others on this planet. So their families can get proper care in the comfort of their homes.

I am true honest person, I have been taking care of people for 20 years and I enjoy what I do. When I take care of people I look at it like it can be one of my family members and that I would want Them to have good care. If patients were able to do do the care on there own then they wouldn't need us and that's why we are there to help out.
